Someone brought in a big box of donuts today at work and where they are situated and where my desk is, I constantly have to walk back and forth past them. I need help in being here for the next five and a half hours and not touching them!

When someone brings donuts to work I've seen people touch multiple donuts before deciding on which they really want.......Just imagine people at your workplace do the same....Then wonder where their hands have been. Do they wash their hands? :huh: :noway:
That was enough to make me not eat them but I'm a certified germophobe.0 -
Snack on fruit or veggies and drink lots of water to keep your tummy full and you'll forget about the doughnuts.
Or, say the heck with it and eat ONE! Fit it into your day .. or burn it off later with some extra exercise.0 -
I always try to think about how I feel AFTER I eat something that I shouldn't have. In the end, if you eat it, it usually doesn't taste as good as you imagine it will taste when you are trying to avoid it. So pretend you ate one and try to think of how you'd feel for giving in. Then think of how you feel for actually avoiding it!0

That's it! Thank you for the suggestion.. I've been trying to think of something to have for dessert .....0

I am a huuuuuge donut fan. Put a donut anywhere near me, and I'll eat it. Like, go into a gas station or grocery store, come within 15 feet of a donut and I'll buy it, even if it's stale.
What I've done now is limit myself to a delicious, freshly baked donut or 2 on the weekend. When I see a donut any other time, I instead look forward to the still warm cake donut I'll get to enjoy on Sunday morning. Delaying the gratification allows me to plan my indulgences so that I can fit them in, rather than shun and avoid them all together. So far, 60 lbs lost on a donut a week, so it's working for me.0 -
Unless they are apple fritters, then probably not worth it. If there is an apple fritter, then have one for me0

Move them! Tell your co-workers if they want them they can have them...but someplace else please!0

If it's a chocolate donut I would fit it into my day!0

Did you say donut? Now I want one
By the way, if you don't want to eat one and feel too guilty later on, you could ask a nice colleague to share one with you, but you get one third (and you behave for the rest of the day).. In this way it will definitely not ruin your dieting-day but it will work as a treat and you will stop obsessing yourself with that box..what do you think?0 -
Yes, do not eat the donuts. Leave them all for me.0
-
Sure thing...hand 'em over.0

I swear, I saw Steve... you know the creepy guy who's desk is by the water cooler... I saw him LICK every single one and put it back. You don't want Steve germs, do you?!0

Look 'em right in the hole and say "you are not worth it!"0

Donuts are gross :sick:
However I hate cake, cookies, pie, muffins, candy, ice cream, and most sweets
I don't think I'm a normal human being :grumble:

Walk by and crop dust the hell outta those donuts...they'll be less appetizing to you and it'll be funny to watch coworkers graze on them...0

Totally this. I've seen people go straight from the stall to the door. That's just nasty.0 -
Think about how the doughnuts taste. I mean really taste - I always think they're going to be better than they are and then I'm disappointed that I gave in after. They're too... gritty sugary. I'd rather have real cake.0
